One of the things I love about photography is how it reveals details I may never have noticed otherwise. This photo shows the white tips of a Pileated Woodpecker wing, which can be difficult to see when the bird is in flight and viewed with the naked eye.

This is a short from one of the all-time bangers of feature animation, "Memories."

"Cannon Fodder" features an entire militarized civilization centered around an endless war with an unseen enemy, wherein the children are indoctrinated with the single purpose of fighting that war from grade school.

seeing a lot of the hate for the Neopets TTRPG (which isn't done, that's the whole point of a Beta...) and trying not to let it get me down.
There's a lot of love being poured into this project so far, and I hope players and fans will see that.

In the meantime, I'm going to try staying offline.

Just a quick gesture illustration to explore flow 🤍

[ #art | #FunandAims | #gesturedrawing | #expressionist ]
a loosely-drawn figure lounges, prone, with their legs kicking lazily. A line stretches from their midback all the way to the sloping line of their hair, which cascades down in a long curtain. Their arms are folded comfortably, drawn in a way where you can see both of them through the crisp black line art. Lighter grey strokes drawn in watercolor provide a sense of form to the figure, as its eyes close calmly.

These are some older Neopets pieces of mine from back in 2020 but I still really dig 'em! Especially that sketch page exploring my xweetok Bonny Lass's backstory. 🤍

[ #Neopets | #FunandAims | #art | #furry ]
A sketch page showing some snippets of Bonny's family and early life as a lil fluffball of a xwee! I wanted her to look like the middle ground between a xweetok and yurble, so she ended up looking like a cross between a mink and a hedgehog--which is honestly adorable! In the top left corner I sketched a quick doodle of her mom, Nejla Xendrik (yes, of the Xendrik family, the nobility of Sakhmet!) She's an art dealer in the Lost Desert, whereas Bonny's dad, Yaniq Avaan, is a goalkeeper for Mystery Island's yooyuball team. Bonny's full name is actually Borandukht Avaan-Xendrik, and she was "born" 2006. She was raised on Mystery Island, and her dad tried to get her into Yooyuball but she never really picked it up. She loved making friends with members of the team though, and has fond memories of players like Bertie Shurtz. Her khnum, "Kuja", has been with her since she was born, and he's very protective of her. this was a screenie from back in the day, where it started raining mortogs! I sketched one falling on Five (the strawberry shoyru)'s head, while Bonny pulls back in disgust from one looking to kiss her. This was one of the first color sketches I made of my ixi Kaliamiki (also known as Liam). They wear the pirate ixi jacket in deep blue, with a starched white cravat and several key items hanging from their belt: an ice sword, a compass, and a bottle of wraiths breath. They wear a bright red layered folk skirt that matches their left (our right) eye, since I draw her with heterochromia. Their red eye reflects their pirate coloring, whereas the blue reflects their old snow coloring--since Liam may be a sailor, but they're from Terror Mountain. This is also reflected in their horns, which look like the midpoint between the christmas colour ixi's horns, and the default horns. another screenie, showing how Bonny does NOT take kindly to the ghost lupe trying to intimidate her family. This is an old sketch of her wearing her old outfit, but I'm still fond of it!

Throwback to this lil sketch I made of my lil faerie boy Roulad 💛🧚‍♂️

[ #FunandAims | #neopets | #cybunny | #art ]
this is a hand-drawn digital sketch I drew of my yellow cybunny, Roulad. He's a basic yellow, but I like drawing him as if he's a basic yellow faerie cybunny. He has long eyelashes and blue eyelids, a pink nose, pink cheek spots, yellow eyebrows, and two yellow spots on his forehead. His dewlap is yellow with pink spots, and the underside of his paws are all yellow. His wings are white with an ombre inner design that transfers from blue to yellow, making him the very picture of springtime.

A while back I was working on some mascot ideas for work, but unfortunately it didn't go any further... should I flesh 'em out and repurpose these lil buddies into adoptable designs in full color? Whatcha think?

[ #FunandAims | #characterdesign | #geeky ]
These are the sketches I made for the "geeky gals", with different emphases on different areas to be geeky in: books, movies, STEM, and board games. (as you can tell, I didn't get around to designing the masculine models quite as much...) These are some bases I sketched depicting a "geeky" guy with glasses, but showing different hobbies or aesthetics based on what they're holding or wearing.

Your ability to draw something imperfectly will end up being called your "style", so don't be afraid of making mistakes.

Sure there's advice on how to draw things realistically or on-model, but it's important not to get lost in the pursuit of "perfect".

Abolish ICE!!! US militarism is out of control and needs to be stopped. Don’t look away, don’t stay silent, don’t comply. Keep filming ICE, report sightings, and know your rights. Your silence will not protect you; dehumanization anywhere is a threat to humanity everywhere.

It's nice to look back on these old pieces from 2023, I hope I can draw more of my ocs this year. 🤍

[ #FunandAims | #art | #mlpoc | #furry ]
this was originally going to be an adoptable mlp oc design, but honestly I've taken such a liking to her! This is Berry Medley, and she's a painter! She's a pink-and-cream unicorn pony with peach-colored hooves, and an american paint horse coat. She has bouncy curly hair in streaks of blueberry blue, grape purple, and raspberry red. She wears two piercings in her ears, with little berries dangling from the bottom set. Her cutie mark is a mix of berries on a blotchy purple background. There are sketches of her alongside her colored version, including one where she's drinking a smoothie, wondering "is this technically cannibalism?" with a look of worry and distaste. She then notices how odd it is that she can hold the smoothie with one hoof, then tries to wave her arm frantically to get it unstuck. Another sketch shows her strapped into a harness to do Action Painting, a style of abstract expressionist painting. She also holds a paintbrush in her mouth thoughtfully, with a hoof under her chin as she works. She is a "tripod" horse, with her right front hoof amputated at the shoulder. This is an old colored sketch of Chamomile, my original character for an old deviantart group called Kitty Catty City. She's a snowshoe cat, who wears a big green ribbon at the base of her tail and walks on her back legs like in Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit series. She's pictured alongside her old concept art from 2012, and a picture of a real snowshoe cat. This is a sketch compilation of one of my oldest characters, Kelile. She's a reptilian alien, with markings that make it look like she has a short glove on one claw, and a bicep-high glove on the other. She has a stout muzzle and sturdy spikes that only adorn her head and neck, and a thick and strong enough tail that she can comfortably lean back on it with her legs crossed casually. She's a brawler by trade, and in one of the sketches can be seen snacking while changing a tv channel with a bulky remote. This was a for-fun drawing from a while back, where I wanted to try drawing a water-cat. It looks like a mix of a lion and housecat, with markings that make it look like the tip of its tail and paws are a sandy beach. A school of fish swim by, reflecting in the water on its body slightly.
